note: Proper cleaning is critical to achieving
a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between
the insert and cutterhead will slightly raise the
insert, and make noticeable marks on your
workpieces the next time you cut.
6. lubricate the torx screw threads with a
light machine oil, wipe the excess oil off the
threads, and torque the torx screw to 48-50
inch/pounds.
note: Excess oil may squeeze between the
insert and cutterhead or at the bottom of
the screw hole, causing hydrostatic lock and
preventing the screw from fully tightening,
thereby lifting the insert or screw slightly and
affecting workpiece finishes. Make sure to
carefully clean off any excess oil to prevent
this from happening.
